quality problems

One of the least favorite things to do in the produce business is selling poor quality merchandise.  Although no farmer has ugly children, from time to time growing conditions are not optimum and you have to sell produce which is unable to withstand a federal inspection.  Thus begins the dance between buyer and seller.  You overdescribe the produce no one wants to buy.  If you are a little too optimistic, you will get the order and then get kicked.  You need an understanding buyer and some luck in this market.
